Xi Jinping extended his sincere greetings and best wishes to the Singaporean government and people. He pointed out that China and Singapore are close and friendly neighbors. Since the establishment of the diplomatic relations 25 years ago, the two countries have maintained a good tradition of high-level exchanges, and the bilateral cooperation in various sectors is continuously deepening and expanding with fruitful results. The sound development of China-Singapore relations has brought benefits to the two countries and peoples, and made positive contributions to regional peace, stability and prosperity.
